A conference talk introducing Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard created by Anthropic in late 2024 and donated to the Linux Foundation. MCP solves the problem of connecting AI host applications to external tools and services without writing custom integrations for each one. The talk explains the three-component architecture (host app, MCP client, MCP servers), demonstrates a live workflow where an AI reads messages from Mattermost and automatically creates Jira tickets from identified issues, and previews future possibilities like interactive UI components rendered within the host app. The speaker also mentions using MCP with Obsidian for automatic note-taking.
